Manhattan Fish Market (The Central)

This is not your neighbourhood fish market as the name suggest. Rather it is a place for seafood, particularly fish lovers. The fish and chips is yummy! You can try the Manhattan fish and chips or the Alaskan Pollock and Chips. Both are deep fried in light batter. Too bad they do not do it in beer batter. Nevertheless the fish is firm, creamy and juicy and it melts in your mouth. Add that to the crispy deep frid batter and you will be in cloud nine after your first bite.

Since were were dining in pairs, we tried the Manhattan seafood platter. Actually it seems like everyone else was ordering that. Good price for 1 huge piece of fish, 4 huge prawns layered with cheese which is melted just before it reaches your table, calamari, generous amount of chips, 4 oysters and rice. Seems like a huge serving of seafood...actually it really is; all for 29.90.

Ambience is casual and cosy, but with the crowd it can get slightly noisy. They've also got different kinds of seating arrangements. You can sit on the standard height setting or on a couch like setting. Since we were having a full meal, we thought that the couch like setting will make it harder to eat. So we opted for the standard height seating.

The MFM started out in 2002 in Malaysia. It seems like they have more than 8 outlets in Malaysia, in places like Mid Valley Megamall, Klang Valley and even in Penang. In Singapore, they are located at Plaza Singapura and Central.
